Dress Panel
19th century (made)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
Dress panel. It is a coarse cotton ground and has been embroidered with red, green and dark blue wool. The pattern forms vertical stripes: the two broadest stripes contain a flower between two V-shaped leaves. The design is formed by the white ground and the three colours have been embroidered in bands across the stripes. There are also two narrow stripes of diamonds on a red ground. There is a border pattern of sprigs down the left hand side.
This seems to be part of the chest panel from a dress, although it might be from a man's shirt.
